Eraine
Scope
The motivation behind building Eraine
To build a world to play around in. Be it in novels, RPGs or anything else I might come up with. To have it as an expression for my creativity.
The goal of the project
A world where I can set novels and RPG campaigns.
Eraine's Unique Selling point
To have a dirty world, where even the ugly side of people take place. Violence, abuse and exploitation are all common. But even a dirty world still has it's bright spots. Hope, compassion and love are also common.
Nothing is without a cost. Magic is full of risks. Magical healing might hurt more than it helps. Magic is slow and requires preparation, but rue the day when you underestimate its power.
Monsters roam the lands in few numbers, but with a supernatural origin, they will always exist.

The world is dim. Most have to work hard to get by. The middle class in most nations might manage to get an hour or two of leisure a day.
